According to flooring specialist, Tarkett, ‘while flooring represents a relatively small part of the overall weight of materials required for a building, being in permanent contact means it has a major functional and sensorial role’.
Promising to bring ‘the ultimate flooring experience’ to Healthcare Estates 2013, the company says: “We believe it is possible to improve the healthcare experience to make it more pleasant for all stakeholders through considered interior design and decoration, and have made it our goal to supply all the tools required to support this.” The contribution of flooring to health, through comfort, functionality, and indoor air quality, is explored in a new Tarkett guide for healthcare professionals and designers, to be showcased in Manchester.
